School Tours 2022
Great to go on a School Tour again this year! Juniors, Seniors and 1st Class visited Streamside Stables. They learned all about horses and were introduced to a baby foal. This was followed by a trip to Loughill Playground where they had lots of fun in the sun. They ended the day with a delicious ice cream back at school.
2nd 3rd and 4th class had a wonderful day at Crag Cave. They learned all about caves and their features! They spent time in the Play area and arrived back at school very tired indeed!
5th and 6th tour was a day at UL Sports Arena. The children climbed out of their comfort zone and tackled the climbing walls without a second thought! All showed great team work through out while displaying their accuracy skills during the Archery event. They arrived back to school well pleased with their day!
